2010-2011 Academic Competitions Study and Dedication Brings Success
Our students eagerly take part in the academic competitions scheduled each year. Although participation requires teams to devote long hours to after school preparation, WCS is represented yearly at the TAPPS Academic Meet, Texas Christian Schools Interscholastic Tournament (TCSIT), and Science Olympiad. Successfully qualifying in our district, six WCS high school students travelled to Concordia University, to compete in the TAPPS Academic Meet. Individual accomplishments include 4th in Number Sense and 1st in Advanced Math by WCS senior Jeffrey Guillot. Junior Andrea Guevara, placed 3rd in Spanish, junior Giselle Johnson secured 1st place in Poetry Interpretation and junior Michelle Fang claimed 1st in Mathematics. WCS placed 5th overall, out of twenty-one teams in attendance. TCSIT also offers competition in several sub-categories of speaking and writing events, however it is open to private schools of both Texas and Oklahoma, and includes Bible events. Over forty middle school and
high school students competed on behalf of WCS, with twenty-four members advancing to the final round of competition within their respective categories. Six of these students finished first in the state, with perhaps our most notable results coming from senior Jeffrey Guillot who placed among the top 6 in five events. Jeffrey finished 6th in Comprehensive Science, 5th in Calculator and 1st in Number Sense, Comprehensive Math and Team Math. Science Olympiad is the final academic competition attended by WCS students. Four students earned individual medals. Katherine Harper (8th grade) and Bailey Perez (6th grade) placed 3rd in Science Crime Busters while high schoolers Matthew Smith and Cody Rowe finished 2nd in Remote Sensing. “It is encouraging to consistently have so many students interested in representing Westbury Christian by participating in these competitions,” said Head of School, Mr. Greg Glenn. “I commend this year’s participants for the success they were able to achieve through diligence and hard work.”
